Who is your culinary inspiration?My father is the individual who first taught me how to cook at age 5, instilling in me the importance of cooking from the heart and the importance of presentation. My other inspiration is Gordon Ramsey who is so creative with the dishes he creates.
What would you do with the $25,000?My dream is to open up my own food truck so I can share my culinary passion with the public and show my children that dreams do come true as long as you never give up on it.
